Background / History

Huo Baichuan is the eldest young master and heir of the Huo Group. Although his father regards him as an irresponsible playboy, Huo runs a profitable extreme-sports club that earns several hundred million in annual net profit. His resentment toward Tao Yan begins in childhood, fueled by constant comparisons and his father’s proposal to marry Huo Baichuan’s younger sister, Huo Yan, to Tao Yan. 1 2

While attending a yacht party, Huo Baichuan intervenes when Tao Yan attempts to save a drowning child. After rescuing Tao Yan and the child, both men are swallowed by a sea vortex. They awaken thirty years in the past in teenage bodies, where Huo Baichuan defeats their attackers and helps Tao Yan reach the police. 3 4

The pair are placed at Red Heart Orphanage and adopt the public identity of trafficked children with no known families. Huo Baichuan supports their early survival efforts by performing martial arts in street shows, catching thieves, and publicly promoting the orphanage and their computer business. 8 9 25
